An appliance that fails partway through a cycle and sometimes completes normally usually points to a specific stage — fill, wash, spin, heat or dry — not total failure. For induction cookware detection, first test a known magnetic flat pan that meets the minimum diameter.

- induction cookware detection with this exact failure state
- Diagnosis across cookware versus zone, sensor, control lock and power

0 of 4 completedCapture the exact failure state
ReversibleNote exactly which stage the cycle stops or errors at, and whether it's the same stage each time. Expected behavior: recognize a flat magnetic pan of supported base size centered on the zone.
Isolate the component boundary
ReversibleTest a known magnetic flat pan that meets the minimum diameter. Run the specific stage in isolation where the appliance allows it, and repeat with a different, similar-sized load. Boundary to separate: cookware versus zone, sensor, control lock and power.
Correct only the proven cause
ReversibleChange cookware/position or service a zone that detects no supported pan. Correct the loading, supply or setting proven to affect that one stage, or arrange service for a component fault confirmed at that stage.
Verify and stop safely
ReversibleRun two complete normal cycles in a row and confirm the same stage no longer fails. Stop for cracked glass, smoke, arcing or breaker trips.
